SATURDAY JULY 31ST

6PM-11PM

AN ART SHOW & BENEFIT FOR BIKES FOR THE WORLD!

“Biketastic” is an art show for all mediums inspired by bicycles!  This show will feature art that represents the many nuances of bike culture; from bikes for commuting, racing and pleasure rides to those who ride them for economic, and environmental reasons.   The Soundry’s proximity to the W&OD Trail gives us a lot of “bike traffic”, and we see first hand what an important role biking plays in many people’s lives.  We also noticed that bike enthusiasts like bike related art!

This show is open to all mediums and will bring with it many bike-centered events from organized “rides” to film screenings, and a fashion show.  The opening of the arts show will benefit Bikes for the World!

Opening celebration and benefit will be Saturday, July 31st, 2010 from 7pm to 11pm.  There will be a silent auction, vendors, raffle, bike fashion show, and drinks.

*LIVE*PUBLIC*PEER-JURIED SHOW*

* Each artist presented just ONE piece in-person to the jury. The jury panel consisted of ONLY the artists submitting to this show. The panel was encouraged to ask questions, comment & debate before voting. The artist in front of the panel answered and defended their work—all on live, streaming video!

Come see the show that resulted from this live, experiment. Meet the artists and see the video of this unprecedented jury process. We learned a lot and you will too.
